CAFFEINE CONTENT IN A COFFEE POD
The amount of caffeine in one Nespresso pod can vary depending on the specific blend and roast of the coffee. However, on average, one pod contains around 30-40mg of caffeine. This is roughly equivalent to a shot of espresso, which typically contains around 30-50mg of caffeine. various blends and roasts, have varying amount of caffeine.
Darker roasted coffee typically has less caffeine than lighter roasted coffee. This is because caffeine is burned off during the roasting process, and as the coffee is roasted for a longer period of time, more caffeine is lost.
Dark roasts are roasted longer, at higher temperatures and for a longer period of time, which causes the beans to lose some of their caffeine content. Lighter roasts are roasted for a shorter time and at a lower temperature, so they retain more of their caffeine content.
It's important to note that the roast level should not be the only factor considered when choosing a coffee based on its caffeine content, and it's recommended to check the exact caffeine content if this is a concern.
It's also worth noting that the amount of caffeine you consume per day varies from person to person and it is recommended to not exceed 400mg of caffeine per day.
